STATESMAN. Mii.lf.dgeville, Dec. 27 !C?5. Tin- basin' ss of the Legislature cloned on the 22d instant. Many bills of vital impor tance, as effecting the interest* of commu nity, the safstv of the People, and the rights ®f individuals, have been passed and sealed by the r. present itivcs of their enacting authori ty during their late session. We propose, hereafter, to give the readers of the States man, a more connected and systematic jour nal of the several Laws and Resolutions, than we have hitherto ban able to do. Those of the nio-t importance in our columns to-day, are—an “ Act to lay off the. State into Seven Congressional Districts an “Act to create a Hoard of Public Works and on “Act to lay out a Central Canal or Railway through thh State.” The Resolution I-id on'the Table by Mr. Lumpkin, on the eve of the Session, is submit ted for the speculation and amusement of our readers. For ourselves, we are considerably Taken, not only with the improvidence of the Resolution itself, but chiefly with the reasons Upon which it is predicated. General Andrew Jackson’s claims to the Chief Magistracy of the United States have longjlieen acknowl edged and w armly defended uy the good sense of this state, upon s' conger and more une quivocal grounds than a few ambiguous sen timents in the late President’s Message. Should Mr. Adams be able, as no doubt be is. to illucidate and defend the doctrines and language of his Message to she acceptance of all, upon fair and honorable principles, then it would aecm to follow that the pretext on yvhich this resolution rests would be. anni hilated, and with it, the significance ol the H'-solution also. Now we think the pretext of f redisaltog- tle-r toofeableund irrelevant, to sustain the breadth and force of the. Resolution. Andrew Jackson owes nothing of his growing popularity in this.statc to any imputed defect in the late Message of the President, the «u --tliors of that resolution themselves being pudges. Will it be urged*tli:it thejprefercnce resolved upon in this article, is co-cval only w ith the purusal of Mr. Adam’s “Public Mes sage ?” If not, arid this preference was pre viously concerted, then the Resolution turns upon other and unpublished fconsiderations, entirely unconnected with Mr Adams or his \1 essage : And the premises given, remind I us of the Glasgow Professor,} who proposed this problem to his pupils.-—“ Given the dimen sions of a ship, the weight of her cargo, slid the Christian name’ of the first Mate, to find the sir name of the owners.” Several Substitutes were offered to the Pre ambles and Resolutions above noticed, hot were received too late for insertion in this paper. The pacific resolutions of Mr. Polliill arc such as the Legislature of Georgia owed to themselves, to the people, and to the General fiovcrnmrnt. They owed it to themselves, tnat thi-y might retrace the seditious resolu tions at their last extra session. They owed it to the People, because their feelings had hern violently misrepresent'd: and they owed it also to the General Government, by way of asking pardon, for the unfilial distrust and in sult it had received at their hands. That the high-tonrd menaces, coupled with factious complaint-!, which had gone uhrond as the trumpeters of our folly, and thundered at the very doors of the Capitol, were the ex treme efforts of desponding real, and in no wise the voice of the people; the evil, and the r< pentnnee, is therefore not with them, but Tjeir servants in office. “A crisis had arrived, when it became ne <v saury for every patriot friend and lover of his country todeelarc to the world,” by open resolution of this Legislature, that we, as a people, are not only “ignorant of any impro per interference of the Gejicra! Government in our local concerns,’’ but have, never autho rised any complaint on this subject. The bill from Mr. Turner, “To provide for ■{lie commencement of a system of Internal Improvement,” was given in our last, unfet tered w ith a certain amendment; because we confidently hoped, that, upon re-considera tion, it would he stricken out as extremely injurious to the rational intentions of the Bill. We allude, to the limitation of the Board to ‘‘sixty” or a “hundred day’s service,” in the great field on which they are directed to la bour. . The instructions to this Board, as contain ed in the “Act to lay out a Central Canal or Railway through this State,” impose a task sufficiently arduous, one might suppose, to require the united labours of r million of men, each cider than they, to accomplish it in the etime allowed by this amendment. It is not, we conreive, very disrespectful, to hope that the Members of the Board will not stay the plough in mid-furrow, and abandon the field, so long a* their perseverance and labour shall promise to the State, that important benefit Xthicli this act contemplates. The responsible duties [prescribed to them, ill Mr. Fort’s “ Bill to lay out a Central Canal or Railway through this State,” are of the must urgent and important character. It de bum the land-marks of thi ir operations, and comprehends all that is at present needful to bt> attempted under the authority of their com mission. it presents an able and intelli gent view of the practical improvements of which this state is susceptible', by means of a cheap and more expeditious channel of in land communication from our distant frontier to the ocean ; or as converging to one com mon central mart, the interests, the sympa thies, and the commerce of the adjacent states. The Land Lottery Bill has been revised and amended, as we shall shortly publish. Char ters have oeen given to several companies, among which the most important arc —to the Mexieo-Atiantk Company, for the purpose af constructing Canals, tec.—one to an Insu rance and Banking Institution, in Savannah, and one establishing a Bank at Macon; all of which shall appear in our subsequent columns. Very general regret is manifested at the failure of a bill to establish a Seminary'for the Education of Females in this state. It pass ed the House of Representatives by a very large majority, and no doubt was entertained hr its friends, of similar success in the Senate; but it was destroyed without reason, and without mercy. A communication upon this subject, will be given in our columns, from the San A-writing-, aod we are willing to believe y,i WI W —rm. jr from the liead, oi some Lady fn our vicinity. Her questions are very pertinent, and hand somely urged ; hut they are, nevertheless, too hard for us to answer. We will, however, on some future occasion, devote more attention to this subject, than the hurry of our remarks now permits. If the individuals named in that bill as the Board of Trustees, or any other, aye disposed to meet in concert upon tlie measures therein contemplated, they niyght embody their views in a eoi-imon report or memorial to the next Legislature, with as much power of persua sion as if they were already organized. The Duke of Saxe Wkimah, Muior Gene ral in the service of his majesty King of the Netherlands, and Mr. Huygans, attached to the Dutch Legation, Colonel Wool, Inspect or General of the United Steles’ Army, and Mr. Temple Bowdoin, of Boston, arrived in town on Saturday evening. They take, their departure this morning for Montgomery, Mo bile, and New Orleans. It is understood that the Duke has it in contemplation to visit Mexico, after which he will rt-vieit the U. States, on his return to F.uropc. We wish him all health and pleasure in journeying over the extensive and less hospi. table tracts of country, which will intervent in a travel of sneh vicissitude and adventure. Colonel Wool, who is an accomplished officer in "the United States’ Army, is on a lour of inspection of all the military posts bordering upon the Gulf and tb« Mississippi; he has it also in charge to examine into the condition of our troops in She Creek Nation. The Governor’s health continues very low; there is but little hope of his recovery. COMMUNICATED. Messrs. Editors, I read with no inconsiderable plea sure in your first Number, the form of a Bill for establishing in this state a “Seminary for the Education of females,” hut have since been assur ed that the same was disapproved of by the Senate—a body which I have been taught to revere as the vener able fathers and Guardians of those whose voice is never heard in the councils of legislation. Whv was this Bill rejected ? Why is even/ Hill rejected by the Legisla tors of Georgia which proffers any paternal care over their community of females 1 There were doubtless, good reasons in the argument against its final passage—pray Sirs, of what kind were: they, if it be proper to publish them 1 Was it lost under an apprehension that the organization of an unpensioned board of trust would, someday, environ the Coffers ot the State with so many hungry petition er., and that their supplications might become too pursasive for refusal ? But i very much over-r.de the effi- ciency of our humble devotion to the cause, if there are not some —nay many of my sex,who, with the means of munificence, would have also the most cordial disposition, to sustain an Institution of this kind, if the Legisla ture at any time, should decline its patronage on the plea, either of their own unwillingness, or ofthe poverty of the State. But reason and re monstrance are weapons alike impo tent in our hands, and nature exacts of us the full measure of her stern decree unargued acquiescence. True, we were advised some years hack, like Diogines at the statues of Athens, that we must “ learn to bear a repulseyet were our hopes again renovated when we heard the venerated names of those who stood up in our cause: But the sen tence of the senate is doubtless also just ; for the men who composethat august body—the Patres Conscripti, of the State “ arc allhonouralemen.” PATIENCE HOPEWELL. FOREIGN. Greece. —Ofthe Greek cause we can make out nothing positive, though upon the whole the reports seem favorable. One Mr. Washing ton appears on the strength of his great name, to he playing a consid erable part inthe affairs ofthe Mo rea: offering armistices, and making official protests, as though he were backed w ith real power and authori ty. [From the Courier Francais of Tuesday.] “Odessa,Sept. 24.—We havelctters from Constantinople of the 16th September. They state that some agitation prevailed among the Jan lissarie.s, and that the murmurs heard ■again among them cause much unea siness. The Captain Pacha has en tered with his fleet into the ports of Alexandria, but it appears that this fleet is in the very worst condition, a great number of his vessels having lost their masts and rigging. This news joined to that of the retreat ot Ibrahim Pacha upon Navarino, has created a great sensation in the pub lic mind ” The follow ing letter is said to he from an accreidted source; an accre dited person is not, however, always a competent person : “ Zante , Sept. 10—Since I wrote, has been here; he left me the enclosed letter, which doubtless will give you information on the ot Greece. His representations of the progress of the regular brigade, and ofthe spirit with which the Morcotes now take up their item* are very ffiut leering; ami I do not in the least doubt that the Greeks will be able to re cover all they have lost during the w inter months. An arrival from Mai na represents that part of the Morea as being free from Turk>, anil the na tives are quietly gathering their pro duce. The Turks of Patras made a descent on Monday on Gastonni, but they entirely failed in their attempts at plunder, through the active resist ance of the population. The Turk ish force consisted of five hundred cavalry, who afterwards retired to Patras. “The Missolonghiots make a most gallant defence, and even act on the offensive. The besieging army must ere long quit the siege, on account of the rainy season, which has now commenced. A squadron ot Greeks are blockading the Gulf of Arta, and the lonian Government refuse clear ances for Provesa. The Greek fleet under Miaulus, passed here from Missolonghi towards the Levant, on Monday last, the sth inst. They are gone in search of the Turks, who, it is now ascertained, have taken up their quarters in Port Boodron, oppo site the Isle of Rhodos. We hear nothing further respecting the Alex andrian fleet.” F.xtract of a letter from the harbour of Zante, dated Septembers, 1825. “I can only write to you a few lines from the harbour, where I am confined in a most miserable cattle boat, the best conveyance from the Morea to Zante. The Jaws of quar antine are now exceedingly strict here, the plague being at Modon, Coron, and Navnrino—one of the blessings brought to us by the Arabs-. It has not, however, penetrated a mong. the Greeks; on the contrary, Napoli, w hich is generally a very un healthy place in summer, has been this year quite healthy, although containing at present more than fifty thousand people. “From Clarentza and Castouni, where I shall go this night, I will write to yon long details upon all the affairs of Greece. I intend also to proceed to Missolonghi, to examine closely the state of thrtt place. Ibra him Pacha, with 5000 men, marched from Tripolizza to Navarino about 20 days ago, hut finding the plague there, he came hack. On his return he was surrounded hv the Greeks, now collecting under Colocotrini.— ft is expected that he cannot open his way w ithout great loss, lie had left at Tripolizza nearly 3000 men, part of which was placed at a mill two hours march from the town; these were attacked during the night, and all killed, except a few who were taken prisoners. Nearly 2,500, in cluding many wounded and sick, are strictly closed in Tripolizza, and if Ibrahim cannot relieve them soon, they must surrender for want of pro visions. The Greek are now in ve ry good spirits, and Colocotrini’s army, w hen I crossed the Morea five days ago was between 12 and 14,000 strong, and was daily increasing, by the Moreotes coming down from the mountains to join him. Their af fairs in all quarters have assumed a favourable aspect. The Greeks are more united than they have ever been, and this campaign may be con sidered as approaching to a termina - tion ” The following is extracted from a letter of General Roche, to the Greek Committee of Paris, under date of Napoli di Ramanaia, Scptem -17, and translated for the New-York, Daily Advertier: — “The American fleet, consisting of the Nfirth-Carolina, of 104, com manded by Commodore Rogers, fri gate Constitution, the Corvette On tario, and one other Corvette, enter ed this port on the 12th current. I 1 have been on board the Commo dore’s ship to congratulate him in my quality of Envoy from the French Greek Committee, on his safe arriv al. He received me with the most honorable distinction. The moment after my arrival on board, the mem bers of the government came to fe licitate him; the President of the Senate, the Vice-President, and many Senators, accompanied them. They were received by the Commodore with the greatest distinction. He had prepared a Dejeuner, where the greatest cordiality reigned. The Commodore, in person, showed us every part of his superb ship. On the departure of the Greek Govern ment, he tired a salute of seventeen guns. At the firing of the first gun, the Greek flag was hoisted at the bowsprit, and was not lowered until the salute was finished. The forts returned the slaute gun lor gun.— When Commodore Rogers returned the visit of the Greek Government, he was accompanied by 60 officers of his squadron. The Greek troops manoeuvred and filed off before him. The Greeks were all enthusiasm ; it was, indeed, a family fate. The most perfect amity subsists between the two nations. An American Con sul will reside at Napoli di Romania, and the Commodore statesthat he will leave a Corvette on the Levant sta tion.—lbid. “Paris, Oct. 17.—The American squadron has been entertained by the Greeks; it has departed, leaving a corvette to protect it* i jmmerce agaHi«t piracy.’’ . SPAIN. Spain, it appears, refuses to listen to the request of both France and England, that she would acknowl edge the independence ot South America. “ The follow ing has -appeared in a Ministerial Evening paper : —‘ The French Ambassador has addressed a note to the Spanish Cabinet, solicit ing-it to recognize, on certain condi tions, the independence of the new states of South America. The Brit ish Ambassador seconded the repre sentations of the French Diplomatic Agent, and invited the government of Ferdand VII. to profit by favour able circumstance, lest, eventually, the new- states should reject all prop ositions for such an arrangement.— The British Ambassador offered at the same time the mediation of Eng land. The Spanish Minister replied, that the King was opposed to all ab solute recognition of his former col onies, and the Minister Zea, submit ted the following project:— “That each Colony should have a native government, named by the King, which should direct the ad ministration of its affairs, impose the taxes, and pay an annual sum to Spain; that the King should have a repre sentative in each Colony, with the title of Viceroy: and, finally, that the Colonies should, on their part, con tribute to pay off the debt of Spain. [From the Courier Francais of Monday.] Peris, Ort. 16.—We are informed, on good authority, that all the nego tiations entered into with Spain, on the subject of the recognition of the independence of the New r States of South America, are entirely broken off. This Government, not less back ward in civilization than the Turkish Government, is as inaccessable to ev ery political consideration of position and necessity. So long as the Di van can raise a handful of Asiatic troops, and equip some bad ships, it will not hear of any arrangement respecting the Greeks. In the same manner, the Government of the Es curial, quite proud of having seen a miserable expedition sail from Fcr ol for the Ilavanna, dreams already of the coquest of its former colonies.” [2V. Y. Amer. FRANCE. The packet ship Cadmus, arrived at New-York, on Friday morning, from Havre, whence she sailed on the 4th ult. The following is an ex tract of a letter from Gen. La Fay ette, to Captain Allyn, dated La Grange 2Cth Oct. 1825. “ Here is my last letter, anil I wish I could send many others along with it; but the pressure of avocations on my arrival, a kind concourse of friends, have so umch encroached on my time, that I must depend on you to inform my New-York corres pondents that we are in good health; and tell our friends, what I hope they do not question, that we are in cessantly thanking of them, with hearts full of affection and grati tude.” A Havre paper of the 4th ult. asserts that a convention was signed at Paris on the 31st of October be tween the French Government and the Deputies from Havti, by which the privilege of the half duties on imports in French vessels, is extend ed to the whole Island of St. Domin go, instead of being confined to the old French part. It is also agreed that the discriminating duties on the im ports into France shall extend to all the products of Hayti, with the ex ception of sugar that is to say, these products are to pay one half the duties if France, as are imposed on productions of the same kind from French Colonies and other countries. The Paris papers state that Mi. Brown, our minister, had given a grand dinner to the Cabinet Minis ters and the Foreign Ambassadors. SOUTH AMERICA. The Gen. Lafayette has arrived at Philadelphia, in 43 days from Al varado, bringing papers from Mexico to the Ist October. The National Gazette says: — “ We have received the two prin pal papers of the Mexican capital, down to the end of September. The President ofthe Mexican Union had accepted the resignation of Senor Alaman, as Secretary of Foreign Af fairs, and appointed as his successor, ,ad interim, Senor Gomez Pedraza. It was said that Senor Camacho, member of the Sovereign Congress from Jalapa, would be nominated to the post. Senor Michelena reached the Mexican metropolis on the 26th September, from England, where he had filled the office of Mexican Am bassador. He was to proceed soon to Panama, being one of the dele gates of Mexico to the Congress.— The marine had set out for Vera Cruz, and his errand was supposed to relate to the occupation of the Castle of St. Juan de Ulua, which, it was presumed, could not possibly hold out, the Mexican naval force having the command of the Gulf. The Mexican editors exult in the increase of their vessels of war. They argue against a proposition made in the national councils to ex dude from the Mexican ports, the flags of all the nations that have not acknowledged tho independence of the Republic. There is some trade with France which it would destroy The 16th of September, the anniver sary of the first Mexican ‘cry ot lib erty,’ was. celebrated by public re joicings. It is remarked with what particluar brilliancy the houses of the plenipotentiary of the United States and the envoy of Great Bri tain, were illuminated. “We must not forget to mention the creation anil instalation of a Grand Lodge of Freemasons in Mex ico. It is composed of the first men of the country. Esteva, Secretary of the National Treasury, is Grand Master; Zavala, a Senator of dis tinguished talents, I). G. Master: General Guerrero, Gra. Senior War den; Alpuche, a priest and senator, Grand Junior Warden; Zoton and Abulto, Grand Secretary and Treas urer; General Filisola anil Aldana, first and second Grand Deacons; and Ramos Arispe, a priest of con siderable talents and influence, Grand Chaplain. On the 29th of Septem ber, Mr. Poinsett, the American min ister, as Past D. G. M. of the Grand Lodge of South-Carolina, installed, according to our usages, with much pomp and ceremony, the officers of the Grand Lodge of Mexico. A splendid supper and brotherly toasts followed.” A letter dated Mexico, October 1, says that “Great expectations are entertained, just now, that the Cas tle of San Juan do Ulloa is about to be given up to the Mexicans. It is also said that a large force is coming on from Havana, with supplies for the garrison. Should this force of ships from Havana come down, it will certainly not be permitted to ef fect its object with impunity; for there are now two brigs and a frigate on the look-out, besides schoonersand gunboats at Sacrificios —and these would be nearly a match for these frigates purely Spanish.” POLAR EXPEDITION. Capt Parry, whose heroic and skill flu efforts to effect a passsage by the North Pole, has been again defeated, almost inthe moment of success. His vessel was crushed by field ice, and the remaining one was not large enough to accommodate the crews ofboth. The attempt, however, will doubtless be now renewed. The expedition was delayed in the summer of 1824 in getting across Baffin’s Bay, by a most extraordina ry accumulation of ice, and it wbs not before the 9th of September that they passed that barrier On the 26th of September, 1824, they arrived at the entrance of Prince Regent’s Inlet: after two or three days of bad weather and obstruc tion from the ice, they got into Port Bowen; and on the Ist of October the ships were safely placed in their positions for the winter. During the spring of 1825, parties of discovery wi re sent under Capt. Iloopner in land to the eastward; under Lieut. Sherer along the coast to the south ward; and under Lieutenant Ross to the northward. Lieutenant Sherer reached Fitzgerald Bay in 72 20; and Lieut. Ross proceeded beyond Cape York in 73 30. ♦ The ships sailed fromJPort Bowen on the 20th of last July, and on the 22d were driven back again to near ty Prince Leopold’s Island, in Lancas ler Sound: on the 24th they got hold of Cape Seppings, on the wes tern entrance of the Regent’s Inlet, ind they worked down the western shore till the first of August, when the Fury w as forced on shore by mas ses of ice; she, however, was gol off’, and hove down for repair a little further to the southward; but on the 23d of August, they w-cre forc ed, in consequence of increased se verity of weather, to abandon her. Her officers and men were removed into the Hecla, (which had also been in great danger,) and Capt Parry felt himself under the necessity of re turning to England, and hfccordingly stooil to the northward, and on the 27th anchored in Niell’s Harbour, a little to the southward of Port Bow en. After two or three days spent in refitting, they sailed again on their way homewards, and on the 17th oi of September got through the ice and passed the Aretic Circle. On the 10th of October they passed the Orkneys. Only two men were lost during the whole voyage—one drowned and one by disease. The health, spirits and discipline of both ships’ compa nies were excellent all through. “ Majesty’s ship Hecla, Oct. 12, 1825. “ Dear Sir —YVe sailed from the west coast of Greenland on the 4th of July, 1824, In passing Davis’ Straits we were beset 68 days in the ice. On the 9th of September we cleared the ice, and on the 13th of the same month entered Barrow’s Strait. The winter now setting in fast, we therefore endeavoured to reach Port Bowen in Prince Regent’s Inlet, which we effected with some difficulty on the 28th. By the 6th of October we were completely sur rounded w itli young icc. The win ter psssed more agreeable than could have been expected; we had a good library on board ; and managed to raise a tolerable masquerade in one of the ships every fortnight. The w inter was what might be called a mild one in this part ofthe world, the thermometer never exceeding 48 1-2 degrees below zero. During its continuance wehadfine ! s port chasing white-bears, 12 of which were killed. YY bite grouse were abun dant in spring; we shot a great number ofthem. They were excellent .andpro ved a great luxury to the officers and men. The summer,which commenced on the 6th of June, with a shower of rain, was very fine ; the thaw went on rapidly. On the 19th of July the ice brdke up, and we bade farewell to Port Bowen, were we had passed nearly ten months. On the 23d we made North Sumerset, and worked to the southward along its coast, until the morning of the Ist of August, when unfortunate ly the Fury was driven on shore bv the ice. Every effort was made to save her, but our exertions proving fruitless, she was abandoned on the 19th, and her people taken on hoard the Hecla. Thus ended all our hopes of making the north-west pas sage, which seemed favourable till this accident. On the Ist of Sep tember we left Regent’s Inlet for England, and made the coast of Scotland on the 10th. Cotton Goods. —The follow ing ta ble exhibits the amount of cotton goods in square yards, exported from Liverpool within the last four years—by which it appears that the exports to South America have been almost trebled in that period, and in the year 1824, nearly one third of all the cotton goods exported from Liverpool, has been to that coun try—this increase of trade will in some measure account for the de termination of the British govern ment to recognize the independence of South America.
